Visible to anyone in the world

Started TM129 again today after deferring from the September module. running way behind on my maths and planning to defer on that also until September 2018 as I feel it would be best for me.

Going to plough through TM129 and smash it so its done as quick as possible.

when I have another update ill post it on here

So ive almost completed section three of the mu123 im a fair distance behind and im seriously considering defering on this module as i am losing the interest in this module big time.

Mainly down to the fact im behind i have missed tma02 although not a BIGGY im still disapointed in  myself.

if i can motivate myself i feel i could end up dropping off the Whole BSc hons in computing and IT altogether.

Any adivce and guidance would be totally great right about now as i need a big kick up the bum with this.

Today I managed to complete unit one of mu123  and I have started to prepare tma01 as I've also sent off the tma00 test. I'm familiar with the TMA's anyway as I completed tu100 last year.

I'm hoping this evening I can go back to my study but I have a team meeting in work at 5 so I'm having to go in on my day off for it.

What to say hmm

well for the past 2 months i have been learning to code on freecodecamp as i want to be a software dev. 

had my results yesterday passed with flying colours wish it was a distinction but a pass is a pass never the less. 

Hope my fellow groupies got the result they was hoping for. I will be doing mu123 and tm129 next so hope to see some of you next year if not all of you

so not a hell of a lot to say. 

Back in work today first of four twelve hour shifts then im off for 4.

Daily im  using various websites to learn coding as ive probably mentioned in my blog that i want to be a software developer. so now ive got a break from my course i am currently learning coding languages as much as i can to get a jump on my degree in a couple of years, plus i am actively trying to get a job as a junior dev, junior software engineer or junior web designer, no luck yet but hopefully persistence will pay off.

Next in regards to the Open uni is the technologies and practice and Maths.

Ill post again in the next couple of days

finally

Visible to anyone in the world

So i have just finished the TMA06 and submitted it its not 100% but i think it will get me a pass as i could not get the alert status N to work and light the LED 1 and 2 but never the less the rest of it worked. Finished the report part of it weeks ago as that was my strongest points throughout the course.

Next is the maths and TM129 as part of my degree. ill Be on and off here every now and again as i will be learning to code full stack development as this is the area of IT i want to go into long term so i will post about my experiences with this.


Good Luck to you all 

Hope you all pass

Regards

Richard smile

Today ive completed all of my TMA06 except the sense part 

This TMA is by far the longest of the TMA and ill be glad to see the back of this module and start on the modules that will make me learn the bits i need to learn for the direction i am going in.

I plan on possibly studying the remainder of 6.1 and then completing ICMA57 so that TU100 is then basically finished for me and i can start to think about the next courses i am taking or i may continue with self teaching myself coding languages while i have a gap till my next module starts

today i have managed to complete block 5 part 5. i found it interesting as it showed me how to use freemind and as i had this downloaded for a while, with no clue on how to use it i am glad i now know.

Tomorrow i plan to carry on with my TMA06 as i am on task 5 

as soon as i have done some of it or finished it ill post on here but highly unlikely as i still have the dreaded sense part to complete. already attempted the sense part but as usual just couldnt get my head around it.

Visible to anyone in the world

today I managed to complete the whole of block 5 part part 4

I did find it a bit of a drag this week as this whole year has been long, fun and at times down right rubbish but I have managed to get  their and all that's left now is to do icma56, icma57 and finish the started TMA06.

I think this evening I may do my icma56 and possibly icma57 to get them out of the way.

if I dont do them i'll start block 5 part 5 instead or I may even do my icma and start block 5 part 5 as im feeling productive today.

as soon as I do some more ill post on my blog.

today I finished block 5 part 3 and started block 5 part 5 section 1. 

tomorrow I will continue on with block and hopefully I will get most of the block finished. 

not looking forward to tma06 as I have also started that recently but I'm not liking the sense part of it already.

Today i started TMA06 i tried my hand at the sense part but as usual sense got the best of me and i had to put it down. i decided to tackle activity 3 of the TMA instead.

I then finished block 5 part 2 and started block 5 part 3 as i know i need some of that part for my TMA 

I hope to carry on later with more so i can make a proper start on my TMA06

so today i completed block 5 part 1 and i have now moved on to block 5 part 2

its pretty fair to say that overall tu100 chucks some spanners in the works with some of the blocks being complete rubbish and in my opinion nothing to do with my degree and the route im going to be taking.

I will be carrying on with block 5 part 2 this evening and i will post more when i have done some more.

so its been 8 days since i last posted on here.

ive been really busy with work and spending time with my family and i have let my course slip by a week but ive done most of block 4 part 4 this evening. I only have sections 6 and 7 left to do.

Tomorrow i will finish 6 and 7 and i will only be a section behind. the only issue now is ill study over the next 4 days but not much as i am working nights and then I will catch back up completely with the course planner.

I have not had to worry about the TMA05 as i had that submitted around 8 days ago if not a little more.

Ill post some more when i get on here tomorrow

Today i completed the remainder of block four part 3. i have posted some activities in my student forum as it was what was required of me to do so but the forum room seems to be quiet the last couple of weeks.

I've also started block four part four and im on section 1.3

I plant to crack on with block four part four later as im going to take a short break now as i want some chill time before I have to focus back on this.

I will post some more later when i have completed more on my course later

This evening i started block 4 part 3. 

I completed all of sections 1 to 3 and will start section 4 tomorrow.

the last activity i completed was activity 17 a sense program which would let other members of my group see if I am online or offline via my id which is the number 3 on the rss feed. so far it looks as though non of my group are at the same level as me with this activity as i did not see anyone else's number in the rss feed except my own with my status showing i was online. So i posted in the forum for those in my group to notify me a time they can all be online so i can check the rss feed again to see if it is all working correctly.

Hopefully tomorrow i will do some more course work and post some more on here.

I would like to pick the pace up a little as id like to get my TMA06 finished as fast as possible and i need to concentrate on icma55 onward's also.

This evening i did plan on continuing with my course but instead i actually completed all of my TMA05 bar the sense part which to be fair i am dreading as i always say sense it my weakest ability and i kind of detest it.

Tomorrow is my last shift for 4 days so i intend of studying and keeping up with the course and a bit of luck ill crack sense but im not really panicing about it as itsd not going to solve it and i have plenty of time for this.

as soon as i do some more work ill post more on my blog on what ive done and started and how sense is doing for me smile

so today ive completed block 4 part 1.

I enjoyed making a video although like a complete idiot i duplicated a copy and uploaded the non finished duplicated version by mistake.

so i messaged my tutor to see if he could take it down so i could upload it again.

Ive just started block 4 part 2 so as soon as i have got some of it done i will post a little more on here. feeling a little tired today as my little one has been awake through the night being sick in her sleep.
